A hoist system includes a wire rope cable having a first end and a second end. The wire rope cable further including multiple strands twisted into a helical shape. The hoist system further including a lifting mechanism configured to attach to the first end of the wire rope cable. The lifting mechanism including at least one of a rotating drum and a set of frictional rollers. The hoist system further including a motor configured to rotate the lifting mechanism; and a housing configured to house the lifting mechanism, the motor, and at least part of the wire rope cable.

The invention provides a belt axle connecting piece of a winch and a manufacturing method in the field of mechanical technologies. The winch comprises a bracket and a belt axle axially arranged on the winch, wherein the belt axle includes three rods arranged along the axial direction. Bundling belts or ropes can be placed within the clearance between any two adjacent rods. The belt axle connecting piece comprises a cylindrical body, with three bent positioning petals arranged at one end of the body. Every two adjacent positioning petals form positioning holes for securing the rods to the bracket. The connecting piece is simple in structure, sturdy, and easy to manufacture.

Certain exemplary embodiments can provide a reel, which defines a center aperture. The reel can be coupled to a motor and/or drive system, which can cause the reel to rotate. The motor and/or drive system has a relatively low output rotational speed of less than approximately 10 revolutions per minute. Once coupled, a flexible tube (e.g., a plastic tube and/or hose) that is coupled to a well pump can wrap around the reel and thereby lift a pump coupled to the flexible tube out of the ground.

A modular hoist drum is disclosed for use with a power shovel. The modular hoist drum may have a first outer body, a second outer body, and an anchor body that are hollow and generally cylindrical. The anchor body is connected between the first outer body and the second outer body. The anchor body may include an internal anchor configured to receive a ferrule.

A hoist drum for a fiber rope drive for high-strength fiber ropes such as crane hoists, boom adjustment or trolley traveling gear, and the like, comprising a drum body for winding up the fiber rope, guard plates encompassing the drum body, and a rope end fastening apparatus for fastening a rope end to the hoist drum. The rope end fastening apparatus of the hoist drum comprises two strand guiding passages that are disposed next to one another and that lead to a rope deflection element at which the rope end can be turned around and back so that one respective rope strand comes to lie in the two strand guiding passages; and furthermore comprises a clamping apparatus associated with the strand guiding passages for clamping at least the rope strand that is turned back around the rope deflection element in the strand guiding passage associated with the rope strand.
